TheMichael Tuck Medal was awarded to the best-and-fairest player in theAFL Pre-season Cup Final. The award was presented annually between 1992 and 2013; since 2014, the award has not been presented due to the preseason being structured without a final. It is named afterMichael Tuck, who played 426 senior matches forHawthorn between 1972 and 1991^[1] and was theVFL/AFL games record holder until being surpassed byBrent Harvey in Round 19, 2016.

• Adelaide's Simon Goodwin is the only player to win the medal despite playing in the losing side when they were defeated by Geelong in 2006.
• Nick Stevens is the only player to win two Michael Tuck medals. He won the award in 2002 withPort Adelaide, and in 2007 withCarlton.
• Tuck committed an amusingfaux pas in 2005, when he himself accidentally referred to the medal as theNorm Smith Medal while presenting it (the Norm Smith Medal is awarded to the best-and-fairest player in thepremiership season grand final). He has alluded to this mistake prior to awarding the medal in future seasons by emphasising his name; in 2009 his words were "my name isMichael Tuck, and the winner of theMichael Tuck Medal is Joel Selwood."
